Chapter Seventy-Eight: Playing White
Zhou Buyi was full of fighting spirit, even if he knew that Master Xu had been promoted to a fifth-grade treasure connoisseur, he was not afraid.
He was from the capital, studied under Ling Xuge, and faced Master Xu, who was born and raised in Mobei City, he had a sense of superiority of the people in the city, and his eyes were full of contempt: "This kind of treasure connoisseur in the countryside, even if the grade is higher than mine, what if the grade is higher? With Ling Xuge's unique methods, this old guy will definitely not be my opponent today!"
Master Xu is over sixty years old, and he is old and refined, and he can see the contempt in Zhou Buyi's eyes clearly, and his eyes are immediately on fire.
"Who are you?" Master Xu's voice was very cold.
Zhou Buyi sneered, and his expression was arrogant: "I am Zhou Buyi, the sixth treasure connoisseur of the Lingxu Pavilion in the capital, entrusted by the Wang family, to come to deal with you!"
"Are you the hairy boy from the capital?" Master Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhou Buyi with disdain: "If you are so impetuous, it will be difficult to achieve a big thing, and you actually dare to speak wildly, threatening to teach the old man a lesson, it is really a bear's heart and a leopard's gall!"
What Master Xu said was Lin Tianyang's previous provocative words, but Zhou Buyi understood that he was responding to his own provocation, thinking that defeating the old guy in front of him would make Wang Ziyan treat him differently, and immediately his whole body became hot: "Old guy, don't be too arrogant, if you have the ability, we will compete in the treasure hunting conference!"
The two treasure connoisseurs fought on the spot, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and many people surrounded them with burning eyes.
Seeing that there were more people in the audience, Master Xu suddenly became a little more majestic, and said sharply: "The hairy boy doesn't know the height of the sky, it seems that the old man must teach you a good lesson for your master today!"
Zhou Buyi didn't want to lose face in front of everyone, so he responded with a sneer: "Just because you are also worthy of giving me a lesson?" old guy, don't rely on the old and sell the old because you are old, let's see the real chapter under our hands!"
"Okay! Since you are killing yourself, the old man will fulfill you!" Master Xu was lost face by him in front of everyone, and his heart was already full of anger, gritting his teeth and saying: "Today, you and I have our own abilities, whoever finds the treasure with a higher value will be considered the winner, and the losing side must hand over the treasures found to the winner, do you dare to compare!"
His voice was like thunder, and his momentum was compelling, Zhou Buyi was shocked by his ruthless appearance, and his face turned a little whiter: "The old guy gambled really hard!"
Although Zhou Buyi was confident to defeat Master Xu, this bet was too heavy, and if he was defeated, he was afraid that he would never be able to raise his head in front of Wang Ziyan in the future, and he couldn't help but hesitate when he was worried.
"Why, don't you dare to speak?" Master Xu saw that his face was timid, and sneered: "It's ridiculous that Lingxu Pavilion in the capital actually has a treasure connoisseur with a silver spear wax spear head like you!"
"No matter! I can't raise my head if I lose, and the old guy has no face to be a man if he loses, I'm afraid he will do something!"
Zhou Buyi was so excited by him that he couldn't bear it, and immediately gritted his teeth and agreed: "Old guy, I'm not afraid of you! Remember what you said, and see who can have the last laugh today!"
When Master Xu saw him take the bait, his eyes were even more contemptuous: "Hairy boy, don't regret it when you lose!"
Zhang Wencheng stood sideways, and Master Xu rashly gambled, but in fact, he bet the Zhang family's income this year as a bargaining chip, but he was very confident in Master Xu, and he never made a dissatisfied voice from beginning to end, and always maintained a relaxed smile.
Zhou Buyi felt angry when he looked at his smiling face, only felt that he was being looked down upon, and snorted coldly: "Gongzi Zhang, I hope you can still laugh when the time comes!"
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Wencheng still maintained his demeanor, and replied with a smile: "This master, please rest assured, I believe I will have the last laugh." ”
Zhou Buyi had reported himself to his family before, but Zhang Wencheng still called him "this master", and his words seemed respectful, but in fact he was secretly sarcastic.
Many people in the audience understood the subtext of his words and immediately burst into laughter.
Zhang Wencheng's meaning is very simple, he is telling Zhou Buyi: I don't even bother to remember your name, how can I put you in my eyes?
"Okay! The son of the Zhang family has a good method, I see how you can laugh when the time comes!"
Under the laughter of everyone, Zhou Buyi quickly understood Zhang Wencheng's thoughts, and his anger became even stronger, so he left on the spot with a cruel word.
"I must use what I have learned in my life to let these two hateful fellows give away the treasure!" Zhou Buyi forcibly suppressed his anger, and his eyes were gloomy and he plunged into the chaos of stones all over the ground.
Although Master Xu didn't take him seriously, the stakes were very high, so he couldn't take it lightly, and immediately took Zhang Wencheng and his party to continue the treasure hunt.
The two of them left the game, and everyone in the field was not lively to see, so they also left, but there were still many people excitedly discussing the gambling game of the two, Zhang and Wang were both wealthy families in Mobei City, although there were many fights on weekdays, but now there has never been such a direct conflict between the two families, and countless people are full of expectations for the victory or defeat between the two families.
The news of Zhou Buyi and Master Xu's gambling game spread like the wind, and soon reached the ears of the Wang family.
"Bang!"
In the pavilion, Wang Jingxing ignored the interesting eyes of other distinguished guests, and slapped the tea table very disgracedly, angry: "Zhou Buyi is trying to kill my Wang family!"
Wang Ziyan sat on the side, feeling her father's monstrous anger, and her face was like frost.
Although the Wang family has the intention of dealing with the Zhang family, everything is carried out in secret, and this has always been the case in the business field, unless there is a deep hatred, otherwise even if the struggle is fierce, the two sides will maintain a superficial peace, which is the case between the Wang family and the Zhang family.
But Zhou Buyi openly provoked Master Xu in the name of the Wang family, and it became that the Wang family was at fault first, and Master Xu made a heavy bet, which can be said to be to maintain his own dignity and has nothing to do with the Zhang family.
If Zhou Buyi wins, Master Xu will give up the treasure, and the Zhang family can openly attack under the banner of seeking justice for Master Xu, with the current strength of the Wang family, it is not enough to confront the Zhang family head-on.
If Zhou Buyi loses, the Wang family will have nothing to gain in the Treasure Hunt Conference this year, let alone the opponent of the Zhang family, and everything that has been arranged will be in vain.
Regardless of whether they win or lose, the Wang family will be at a passive disadvantage.
Zhou Buyi thought that he was showing off for the Wang family, but in fact, he pushed the Wang family to the edge of the cliff.
"What a stupid waste!" Wang Ziyan looked at Zhou Buyi with a solemn face in the distance, her beautiful eyes almost burst into flames, and she couldn't help but think of Lin Tianyang in her heart: "I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have stopped Tianyang from teaching him a lesson just now!"
Lin Tianyang didn't know the remorse in Wang Ziyan's heart, and he didn't know that the consequence of his intention to provoke Zhou Buyi and Master Xu to eat dog was actually to turn the struggle between Zhang and Wang into a life-and-death struggle, and he was now facing a very realistic and embarrassing fact.
The young steward had the brightest smile on his face in this life, and he held the most thorough respect in this life, bowed down and saluted Lin Tianyang, and his voice trembled with happiness: "Childe, the sixty-eight stone embryos you want have been picked out, and the sixty-eight stone embryos are a total of three million or seven hundred thousand taels of silver, I have asked the adults to get the biggest discount for you, you only need to spend three million and nine hundred thousand taels of silver to get these stone embryos in your pocket, and sit on the treasure, the villain is really happy for you!"
"Three million two thousand two thousand ...... It's only 70,000 taels cheaper, what am I happy about?"
Lin Tianyang looked at the bright starlight in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times: just now he was only pretending to be forced, and he forgot to calculate the price of sixty-eight stone embryos, and the one million taels given by Wang Ziyan was not enough at all!
However, even if he did remember the ability to count ten double-digit additions with his fingers, sixty-eight five-digit calculations......
No matter how annoyed he was in his heart, it was too late at this time, the young steward's eyes were full of fanatical anticipation, staring eagerly at his face without moving, Lin Tianyang really couldn't hide, he could only face the cruel reality of two million and nine million taels.
"Ahem," Lin Tianyang coughed a few times, his face was very calm, and he brought out Uncle Zhao's golden sentence: "Young man, do you have that kind of situation here, that is, you bought it today and came to settle the bill tomorrow?"
The young steward was stunned for a moment, his pupils dilated, and he couldn't believe his ears: "Childe...... Do you want to play a white strip?"
